This image of the week comes from a folder named “Radio Dartmouth College 1.”

Dartmouth broadcasting began in the 1920s. The first station used the call letters WDBS, but changed to WDCR in 1958 when it was officially licensed by the FCC. Dartmouth broadcasting began to operate another station, WFRD 99.3 FM, in 1976.

Dartmouth broadcasting is completely managed by students.
